To improve the quality of accounting estimates of provision for devaluation of inventories, it is necessary to study the factors that affect the accounting estimates of provision for devaluation of inventories in enterprises. Thus, there are solutions to overcome the limitations in accounting estimates of provision for the devaluation of inventories.

The study is based on data from 60 companies operating in the field of building materials for the period 2019-2021 in Vietnam. Panel data analysis was used in this study.

In addition, the study did not find the effect of profitability ratio and type of state ownership on inventory provisioning. Based on the results of this study, the authors also make some implications for companies as well as external auditors. The value of the research will help prepare for the devaluation of inventories.
